Hamas Stalls U.S.-Brokered Ceasefire with New Demands as Gaza Strikes Resume

A demand for U.S. guarantees on a permanent truce led Israel to reject Hamas’s conditional hostage deal, extending the Gaza offensive.

Im Süden des Gazastreifens sind nach Angaben des Hamas-Zivilschutzes mindestens 22 Menschen durch israelische Schüsse in der Nähe eines Verteilzentrums für Hilfsgüter getötet worden. "Mehr als 120 Menschen wurden verletzt", sagte ein Sprecher.

Overview

  • Hamas agreed in principle to release ten Israeli hostages and return remains of 18 others but insisted on U.S. assurances against any resumption of hostilities and a broader Israeli withdrawal.
  • U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff and Israeli officials dismissed Hamas’s response as “completely unacceptable,” affirming that Israel will press on with military operations until all hostages are freed and Hamas is defeated.
  • Hamas reported that at least 22 Palestinians were killed and more than 115 wounded in an Israeli strike near a U.S.-run aid distribution center in Rafah, underscoring the humanitarian toll.
  • Israel’s government estimates 20 to 23 live hostages remain in Gaza and has vowed to continue its campaign despite international criticism of mounting civilian casualties.
  • Washington has simultaneously put forward a detailed proposal to Iran on its nuclear program, highlighting U.S. efforts to link Gaza truce talks with broader regional diplomacy.
